Busy December
I think it was way back in October I said before to long we'd be decorating our Christmas tree. Well here it is December 23rd and tonight we are finally going to decorate. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. December was a busy month for us and today is officially the first day of winter break.
Cooper had a musical performance at school singing Christmas songs. He's in the front with the grey jacket & green pants. It was adorable and I was SOOO thankful I was able to get off work to attend.

Happy 10th Birthday Cameron
Cameron turned 10 on November 27th. We spent the morning on an amazing safari. There is a place in Santa Rosa called Safari West that does jeep tours on their 400 acre property full of amazing animals. There are Zebras, Lemurs, Giraffes, Gazelles, Buffalo...the list goes on & on. Anyway you ride in an open jeep and in most areas the animals are free roaming & could come right up to you. It's quite an adventure. Before the safari we opened presents & after we hung our x-mas lights (big fun for Cameron because we use the tractor) - he played with a friend & we finished the day with ice cream cake. Somehow - as usual- I have posted the pieces all out of whack. So here is his day all turned around.

Happy Thanksgiving
We hope you all had a great turkey day. We actually stayed home this year which is unusual for us. Grandma Sylvia & Billy came over and we cooked up a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. We had a nice relaxing day hanging around the house. The sun even popped out long enough to open the front door & enjoy the fall air.

Camping at last
It seems like it's been forever since we've been anywhere. Finally over Veteran's weekend we were able to go camping. It rained the first day which made for perfect riding conditions the rest of the weekend. We ran into several friends and had a great time riding & wheeling! It was so great to relax & get away.

Keeping Busy
We've been keeping around here trying to get our little landscape area complete enough atleast not to be a mud pit for the winter. We've decided to plant in the spring because we feel if we try to do it now (before it gets to cold) we will be rushing and not make great decisions. Eddie worked to put all our drainage in to route the rain water away from the house which was a big chore so we feel good getting that done.
Cameron & Eddie took a break to help out our neighbors who were shoveling their rock by hand. Cameron got their driveway looking great in a matter of hours. What great neighbors we are :-)

Candy Time
Harvest Time
Fall is here. Time to get ready for Halloween. We went to a great Fall Festival where we picked our pumpkins, made candles & did a hay maze.

Tree Trimming Time
What? Is it Christmas already? No, just trying to save our willow tree that's in front of our house. For some reason this year it just seemed to struggle. It's a huge beautiful tree and needs to be saved so Eddie & a friend rented a lift and them & the boys cleaned the thing up. It's a little freaky seeing your kids up so high but Cameron loved being up in the lift helping out.

GOAL!
We survived the 2011 soccer season. In 5 days we had 7 soccer games & 2 soccer parties. Whew...that was a lot. It was also a lot of fun. The boys each had a game during the week and played in a tournament on the weekend to finish out the season. Cooper scored a goal in one of the tournament games and Cameron had several awesome plays.
Here is Cameron's (#11) team ready to play - love the hair
They have their "game faces" on!

We celebrated by going to a soccer game and doing yardwork. haha - although we did enjoy a nice romantic dinner (without kids - thanks gma Sylvia) last week. We have been having a great day and have laughed at the perfect cards we got each other. Ahh, all this love after all these years, we feel blessed!
I have included a few wedding shots to mark the occasion...

Where have we been?
We've been so busy with school, work & soccer it seems like I never have time to do much else including updating our blog. It's Monday today and by Sunday @ noon we will have had 6 soccer games & 2 practices...it's going to be a busy week! Due to some school budget cuts I actually had today off (see, I guess those budget cuts are good for something!) and had a little time to get some things done. So here is what we've been up to lately.
Making time for an after school snack.
